Top of the World – Auroras on Langjökull Glacier

South Iceland

Duration: 9 – 10 hours

Difficult level: Easy

DAY TOUR – Hunt for the auroras on snowmobiles on top of the world. A day full of excitement and surprises.

This guided super-jeep tour is a unique experience. You will hunt for the northern lights on snowmobile on Langjökull glacier in the evening. You’ll get to know the darkness the Icelanders know so well and all the stories and magic around it. This tour starts in the afternoon and takes 9-10 hours.

Highlights include: – Snowmobiling and refreshments on Langjökull, Iceland’s second largest glacier. – The Northern Lights, if the odds are in our favor. – Amazing nature – Darkness surrounded by the stars.

This tour starts in the afternoon. You will be picked up from your hotel/hostel in Reykjavík. You will drive through/close to the sites of the Golden Circle route (Thingvellir national park, Geysir and Gullfoss) and you can ask the driver to make short stops at these sites on your way to the glacier, if you like. At dusk, you’ll head to Langjökull glacier. You will get all the necessary equipment and instructions at base camp before continuing the journey on snowmobiles. The darkness has its charm and here the snowmobile lights will give you a new perspective of an evening tour. There will be light refreshments served, and if weather conditions are in our favour, you will be able to see the bright stars above and the northern lights dancing in the sky. It’s a truly magical experience that is hard to put into words. To visit Langjökull glacier in the darkness is a once in a lifetime experience that you’ll never forget. After an hour on the glacier, it’s straight back to Reykjavík with drop-off at your hotel.
